Unfortunately, a parent found out about this, and complained to the school district.

At a McDowell County Board of Education meeting last week, employee Chris Greene said, "We had one parent concerned with the use of the word God in this program. This parent did not want the word God mentioned anywhere in the program.

Why go through all the trouble of giving this one person satisfaction when a simple "Go F Yourself" to the person would have solved this in three seconds.

I am still trying to figure out why atheists get the slightest bit pissed off at the utterance of the word "God". I don't see the problem with this girl's poem. I'm sure it sounded quite nice.

The only time I object is when gods are actually forced on people. It shouldn't surprise anyone that children believe in imaginary protector beings. I doubt seriously that a poetic reference to the Tooth Faerie would be cause for argument in the school.

There's the answer. If atheists want to believe God is imaginary and have any mention of Him removed from school we should do that with all imaginary things that are mentioned in school.

We can start with school mascots. Dragons, wizards, leprechauns...all gone. The unproven existence of dark matter and dark energy...outta here. Born gay? Don't even mention it until the science is indisputable.

Good idea.

You almost made it to the end without screwing up. Unlike gods, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever, gay people do exist.
